Having fun with some GPS bombs (GBU-38) today. Going with the precision strike loadout: 9x GBU-38, 4x AGM-65 on the F/A-26B…
First thing is to find the targets with the TGP. Orbiting safely at a distance you can designate each target, hit the GPS-S button to add the target to a targeting list. This technique only works for stationary targets obviously.
You can have multiple groups of targets with multiple targets in each group. This makes for a nice logic on strikes where you may want to prioritize targets based on threat level.
Armed and ready to go!
Make sure your drop option is set to AUTO, which cycles through the target list in that GROUP, picking a new target in the list with each press of the pickle button. Wait for the GPS marked target icons (diamonds) to drop into the circle on the HUD (weapons engagement zone? dunno what it is called)…
Press the pickle button for as many targets as you have, in this case, four times. You are free to maneuver and even gimbal lock the TGP since they are GPS guided. Boom x 4…!
Using the HMCS (Helmet Mounted Cueing System) over the shoulder to find and mark another target…
Rifle…!
Out of weapons, back to the carrier…
